Fed eration Connection Forgiveness is part of everyday life. After all, we are imperfect humans who sin daily. When we sin, we sin against someone – be it God (all sin is against God), another person, or ourselves. What occurs after we sin is important for us to understand.

Jesus makes two points clear in his classic teaching on forgiving others recorded in Matthew 18. He begins, “If your brother sins against you” (Matthew 18:15). Jesus knows that people will sin against one another. It is here where the two previous questions are answered.

Principal’s Pen

Must I forgive? Jesus says yes. In three different scenarios, he urges those who have been wronged to meet the transgressor in order to forgive him. “Go and show him his fault…take one or two others along…tell it to the church” (Matthew 18:15, 16, and 17).

Yes, we must forgive.

May I forgive? After all, do I, as a sinner, have the right to discuss his sinful actions person with him? Jesus makes it clear that it is our duty. The purpose is that he will listen and we will have “won [our] brother over” (Matthew 18:15).

Forgiving others clears consciences— ours as well as theirs—so that we both stand forgiven before God. Yes, we may forgive.

Forgiveness. Must I? May I? The answer is absolutely yes! We have our Savior’s command and assurance that forgiving others is the right thing to do.

God give us spirits that are quick to forgive when we are wronged.

It is your will.

school news and notes:

new faculty spotlight:

Pastor Don Schultz serves students with a clear Message

Guidance Department ushers in a changing of the guard

This article is eighth in a series of faculty and staff responses to why they’re thankful to serve at your Lakeside, along with recollections of moments that demonstrate the value of the investment of time and resources for the families who choose LLHS for their children.

Since 1973, Lakeside students have benefitted from the guidance of Dr. Dennis Gulczynski. With Dr. G’s retirement at the end of the 2013–14 school year. this fall brings a changing of the guard.

Pastor Don Schultz, pictured here at home, has served the Federation at Lakeside Lutheran High School for nine years, and all but the first as Assistant Principal. In this role, he is privileged to not only teach religion classes, but also to serve as students and families in discipline and policy enforcement. He also enjoys helping coach the freshman football team.

Lakeside is blessed to have two Pastor Schultzes on faculty, so the students and staff often use nicknames for both—PC for Pastor Clark Schultz, and Pastor Don. “I’m here at LLHS because I believe that high school students need to be in an environment where God’s word rules,” shares Pastor Don. “Our culture sends so many false messages...

That God doesn’t exist.

That sin isn’t harmful.

That God’s love in Jesus isn’t real.

That heaven isn’t sure.

“But when you’re going to a high school where you hear that God exists, sin is harmful, Jesus really loves and

forgives, and heaven is sure, it affects every aspect of high school life. This is our spiritual “common core” that can positively affect every student now and through eternity.”

When he reflects on his work with teens, he thinks of one example that he knows has been repeated over and over, and it’s what keeps him motivated in his unique role here at your Lakeside Lutheran. He says: “A student of mine—I had him in religion class—stopped me in the hallway to talk.

He hadn’t been the best student— many times I had to speak to him about his behavior. But now he wanted to talk to me.

“Summer had just ended, and the school year had begun. The student told me that over the summer, he had “used” what he learned in religion class way more than he thought he would—at his part-time job, with friends, with family—conversations happened that caused him to remember and use what he had learned in his religion class. It happened so much over the summer that he needed to talk about it with me during the first week of school. I think his words [about what he learned in religion class] were “surprisingly helpful.”

It goes to show that God’s word “will not return to him empty, but will accomplish” what God desires. This is why I am here.”

“I am excited to have the opportunity to serve the Lord at Lakeside and consider it a blessing and privilege,” says Mr. Andy Rosenau, who accepted the call in April, began his duties at Lakeside in July, and is pleased to introduce himself to the family that is our Lakeside Lutheran Federation: “I grew up the youngest of four children in the Milwaukee area. After attending Siloah and St. John’s, Wauwatosa, I graduated from Wisconsin Lutheran High School. From there, I went on to Martin Luther College and graduated in 2001.

My ministry began with an emergency call to St. Peter’s in Schofield, where I finished the school year as the 7&8 grade teacher. I was then assigned to St. Matthew’s, Oconomowoc where I served as sixth grade teacher and athletic director for 11 years.

My wife Carrie (nee Dietlein) and I reside in Ixonia, where she manages the local branch of Ixonia Bank. We have been blessed with two children: Ashley, 7, and Lukas, 4. Ashley will be in 2nd grade and Lukas will be in 4K at St. Matthew, Oconomowoc, where we are members.

As a family, we enjoy taking trips “Up North” and visiting my wife’s family in Michigan. I am an avid fisherman and hunter and also enjoy rooting for our Wisconsin sports teams.”

Andy cites as one of his favorite Scripture passages the reminder from Ephesians 2:8, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God”—what a fitting encouragement for a new beginning for him and his family. The faculty and staff at Lakeside look forward to working with him and getting to know all the Rosenaus. While his role as Guidance Director will take up the majority of his time, he will also teach a section of Computer Essentials to freshmen, supervise an online psychology course, and plans to coach JV baseball next spring.

Join us in welcoming him when you see him around school and the Federation!
